Who is Melik Arslan Bey? An evergreen, sourced profile: biography, key facts and career.
Sayf al-Din Malik Arslan (died October 1465) was Beg (ruler) of Dulkadir from 28 August 1454 until his death. Malik Arslan was one of the numerous sons of his predecessor Suleiman Beg (r. 1442–1454). After competing with his uncle Feyyaz, he rose to the throne, favored by the Mamluk Sultan Sayf al-Din Inal (r. 1453–1461). Later into his reign, Malik Arslan was involved in the succession wars within the Karamanids. He ransacked the region wishing to retake Kayseri but was defeated by the Aq Qoyunlu ruler Uzun Hasan (r. 1453–1478). In September 1465, Malik Arslan ceded Harpoot to Uzun Hasan, who had taken advantage of the worsening relations between Malik Arslan and the Mamluks. Malik Arslan was assassinated on the orders of Sayf al-Din Khushqadam (r. 1461–1467), incited by Malik Arslan's rival brother Shah Budak (r. 1465–1466, 1472–1480), who replaced him.
